How good is the Pi for arcade emulation, really?

Yes because they are numbered like that 0 1 2 3 4 5 and you want A B x C D x with gngeo mapping Easy with gngeo For player 1 A=J0B0,B=J0B1,C=J0B3,D=J0B4.... For player 2 (if xinmo) A=J0B10,B=J0B11,C=J0B13,D=J1B14...

Have you tried the undocumented overscan_scale option ;) # Make display smaller to stop text spilling off the screen # see also http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=67&t=15700 # overscan_scale=1

Runlevel issues
I think you should use gzip to compress the image. It's less powerful (in a compression poitn of view) but really more friendly with all OS ! As a linux user, using winrar to get a linux image is nonsense for me!!!!

Perhaps you SD is smaller than the piplay image? Have you tried another SD card?

(0.8b3) Splashscreen/menu is formatted for wide-screen only
Ok, I understand now. I think it is a piplay issue and not a raspi config issue. I'm not the one who can answer here.

olimex 20 is fully compatible with piplay?
This product is the same as BananaPi http://www.bananapi.org/ (CPU an d GPU). I've read that the executable are not fully compatible. The videocore is different so i don't think the emu will work without porting them to this architecture …
